Winter is over and my hibernation has ended. It’s been quiet around here for the past several months, because, simply, not much has happened. So far this year, I’ve received three rejections and presently, I have two stories out on submissions. Yesterday I finished another short story and it may be the best thing I’ve written. It was one of the most difficult, most stubborn stories to write, and I’m proud of myself for not giving up on it.
In other news, check this out:
This is the Science Fiction Book Club edition of Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend. I love this book and I nearly staggered when I found this little beauty at Half Price Books last Sunday. I’m not sure what year this version came out though. The date within the book is 1954, but that was the year that the Gold Medal mass market paperback was published. Some websites state that this hardcover was published in the sixties, while others say it came out in 1970. I can’t seem to find a definitive answer, but it doesn’t matter. The cover rocks and I’m just happy that I found a copy in such pristine condition. The price was $5.98 and with my 50% coupon, I paid just under three bucks. Score!
On the same trip to HFB, I found a beautiful, uncut hardcover edition of Stephen King’s The Stand for $2.50. And the mass market paperback of Robert McCammon’s Swan Song for a buck. Both books are in excellent condition. Double score!!
